Oh I have seen worse. Remember when we had 4 captains in one series at home? That was the good old days - Peter May was Chairman of Selectors and brought in his nephew, Chris Cowdrey, as captain - Chris Cowdrey! That is how some of the old guard would still like it run - all public school and the odd grammar school lad doing twelfth man duties. Get rid of Flower and his bloody diets and get people in who can stir the players up to want it so much it hurts. Get the fight going again and don't worry if they are eating egg and chips and not enough greens. We need a modern day Peter Willey!

If he is half as hard as his dad he will be fine.

Story goes that his first umpiring job was the Aussies at the Oval in a warm-up match and Alan Border went in to see him and said," I have told the players about you - there will be no trouble."

Even Botham was a bit wary of him.
 
I go to bed at lunch with us 54 for 0 with no alarms a lead of 105.
I'm thinking even if we plod our way through 2 sessions we can have a lead of at least 250 by the end of the day with wickets in hand.
I wake up this morning to 179 all out.
This time we collapse to the mighty Nathan Lyon.
Regardless of previous achievements this pathetic spineless bunch will go down in infamy.
 
nowt in the pitch. If the Aussies dont win this id be amazed
